– Did Ihor Surkis often fine you and Artem for violating the regime?
– It was a case. Igor Mykhailovych always called the base after our flights and summoned us to his office. We cried and laughed then. At that time we were a little afraid of him. Before doing something, you have to think with your head, and we did first, and then thought. But Mykhalych treated me and Tyoma very well. I knew very well that if I played a good game, scored a few goals, I could calmly approach him, remind him of the penalty, and he would forgive me. I always answered to Mykhalych on the football field.
– What was the biggest fine he forgave?
β One hundred thousand dollars.
